Chemist: Gulf workers “EXTREMELY sick” and “scared to death to speak out” against BP

McClatchy reports today[2], “Louisiana chemist Wilma Subra… said high winds and waves also aerosolize oil. Workers, she said, came home in the evenings complaining of headaches, nausea, respiratory problems, burning eyes and sore throats… BP has been monitoring areas around the rig, she said, but not so much the expanses of Gulf where the small boats troll for oil.”

Subra adds, “The workers have been extremely sick… They’re scared to death to speak out because they’re scared to death they could lose their jobs. This is the only source of income they have.”
